Re: Mailto and hiding the e-mail

If you would like to have an alternate choice to CGI scripts, you could
try ASP. I find that CDONTS works great! If you would like me to send
you the code I wrote, please email me off-list. If you do want to use it,
make sure that your server supports the CDONTS.NewMail object,
or the SMTPsvg.Mailer object.
I think that I am understanding your problem right, if not..Sorry!
